Best Practices in Heavy Transport and Lifting, Emphasizing Safety

1. Understanding the importance of good and correct communication, examples from NASA. 2. How to plan a project, understanding the planning and execution of a transport and lift covering the load, the route to travel, 3. equipment selection and execution. 4. Selecting the right transporter or crane for the load or job. 5. What is possible and what is not, learn how to take equipment to the max in a safe way. 6. Understand why it is important to know the application and limits of each equipment, rigging tool. 7. Learn why it is important to agree on terminology before starting the job. 8. Recognize unsafe situations before they occur. 9. Understanding and calculation of ground pressure. 10. Learn how to assess (complex and multi-discipline) transport and lift plans. 11. Learn how to properly prepare and perform a load-out. 12. A thorough understanding of all Heavy Lift and Transport aspects beyond the common boundaries
